The AwJiz Boys are back on the road in Vancouver! We sit down with Ali Bomaye Wasuk, an Afghan MMA fighter on a mission, and things get real fast.Ali came on the show ahead of his BFL Bantamweight Championship rematch against Christian Strong at BFL 86, TONIGHT February 19, 2026 at the Harbour Convention Centre in Vancouver, live on UFC Fight Pass. He lost the first fight. Now he wants the belt.We get into the full journey, from getting jumped outside school as a new kid in Vancouver, to competing at the highest regional level with his eyes locked on the UFC. He breaks down what it actually takes to stay disciplined when your whole family thinks fighting is haram, why knowing you can hurt someone takes the anger out of you, and how he never stops training whether a fight is booked or not.Ali also opens up about being a CEO at West Cana, a cannabis company with two Vancouver locations, how CBD became part of his recovery game, and why an Afghan fighter carrying the flag gets complicated when the newest version of it is white.Plus: growing up thinking you were Persian, the Taliban ban on striking sports, training with guys whose uncles work for the regime, why social media following might get you into the UFC faster than a good record, and what it was like to bomb on the same stage as Dave Chappelle.🥊 Watch Ali fight TONIGHT: BFL 86 — UFC Fight Pass | Harbour Convention Centre, VancouverFollow Our Guest:▶ X: https://x.com/alibomayewasuk▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ali.bomaye786/▶ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aliwasukKane LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kanedabir/AwJiz Boys LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/awjizboysIf you rock with the AwJiz Boys, this is how you support and get more.Patreon members get:Exclusive episodesUnfiltered conversationsEarly access & bonus contentJoin us 👇: https://www.patreon.com/c/AwJizBoysHey Afghans, let's get Luchak with the AwJiz Boys!
